It may be very hard or maybe impossible to impliment a organization that will govern the ethics of people ...but I think the big picture of a snake breeders organization is key to all of our success.

Example 1

If you are a breeder and have papered hypos...and someone else is a breeder with the non-papered hypos....

They may both have the same quality hypos but yours have papers...which one would you buy from?

The organization would give integrity to the whole....

Ok, now if we just keep going as we are now...we breed better animals and a year or two from now we have an over-production of the most outstanding hypos to date....what then??

Now remember the lower grades are selling for about $100 at shows and end up in pet shops across the country and so now normals become a sort of rarity...yes you can sell your hypo litters to pet shops cheap, but who wants to do that? That's like saying I will get a room full of normals to breed and sell them to pet shops for $40 bucks each...I can make a living doing that if I want to, but I choose not to...I love the morphs ...the colors.... the differenses....I, like everyone else, wants to make money as well....I think if we all put our heads together we can achieve whatever we want!
I am bringing up questions to get people to think...we need to do something, or ...we will continue to reap what we have now.
